An Eerie Hush

An eerie hush has dropped across the Amazon Room as the music and pre-game hype ends and the players get down to business. The riffling of chips is the only sound to be heard!

Happy Father's Day

Of course today is also Father's Day here in the US so we wish a Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there - whether playing today or watching our coverage from home.

Today's Lineup

Today's field features plenty of big name pros including Phil Laak, Mike Matusow, Kevin Saul, Jennifer Tilly, Jeff Madsen, Alex Jacob, Lee Watkinson, Jon Little, Clonie Gowen, Hevad Khan, Erica Schoenberg, Joe Sebok, Roland de Wolfe, Dmitri Nobles and Beth Shak.

Isaac Haxton Early Casualty

Isaac Haxton is an early casualty from today's field after committing all of his chips on a flop of {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{A-Spades}. Haxton held {K-Spades}{4-Spades} for the nut flush draw but his opponent was holding {7-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for two pair. The turn brought the {7-Hearts} to end the hand with the {10-Diamonds} on the river rubbing salt into the would as Haxton make an early exit.
